getting to work

[benmorg]

Have been cycling into central London for 20 years and still love it. It's possible to completely avoid main roads and avoid most of the traffic - the benhill road & Portland st route is pretty much car free. I shower before I go and take care not to wear too much, then just get changed at work. There's really no need for another shower after 25 mins on a bike.

Cycling could be the answer I'd suggest

You probably walk behind / ahead of me ;) as that's pretty much the same route I take at the moment. I USED to do the Peckham and/or east Dulwich to London Bridge then the hideous crammed northern line to Camden town journey. Hated it !

I get 78 to Aldgate walk down to Brick Lane the whole journey is 1 hour and half

[SeanMacGabhann]

would the overground from just off Brick Lane to Forest Hill would work out faster ridgely?

[Ridgley]

Not for me SMG I don't do over or undergrounds, if I can help it can't bear being packed in like sardines and it feels like a coffin with electric doors if I can get a bus to the other side of London I do.

fair enough - i figured you must have discounted it for a reason. When I used to work that way the Overground wasn't up and running yet and I used to get off the 78/63 bus at Bricklayers arms and walk up and across Tower Bridge. Admittedly that's a longish walk but compared to staying on that single-decker cattle-truck all the way to Aldgate I was glad of the air

SMG the time I get in, is 8:45am so the 78 is is empty I only work a couple of days in the office my jobs takes me to our Newcastle office and our Edinburgh office and I work from home so there are times I have to take the overground but I hate it.
